A Father and His Sons - Luke 15 v 1-7 So, what triggered this Parable from Jesus Christ? 15 Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! 3 So Jesus told them this story: What is a Parable? – A simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in the Gospels. Matthew 5 v 17 – 18, & v 20 The Younger son – Sinners Pro 14 v 12: There is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death. Pro 3 v 5-8 : Consequences – v 14 Stranded – He ran out of money. His own ideology about wealth couldn’t sustain him. Disappointments – A great famine swept over the land (I’m sure he wasn’t expecting that) and he began to starve. Degradation – From son to slave – He was hired to feed pigs Desperation - He became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. 2.
